Book Description
Esta antologia reúne 142 poemas sobre o Brasil e os brasileiros. Um país desvendado por poetas, um país que vem de longe, de Gregório de Matos aos nossos dias. Apesar de incluir também poemas satíricos, de humor corrosivo, em sua maior parte são poemas que procuram entender um Brasil real e não aquele, falso, vendido pela propaganda. São poemas de revolta e protesto, mas sem perder de vista a evasão e o riso, também sinais de resistência. Com sarcasmo e com amor, parecem dizer estes poetas ao traduzir as vozes de um povo que sempre buscou caminhos para se tornar menos refém dos perpétuos desgovernos em cujas engrenagens nos enredamos desde o mais remoto passado — do Brasil Colônia ao Brasil Império, da chamada República Velha ao século XXI.

Moldy Strawberries
Author: Caio Fernando Abreu
Publisher: Archipelago
ISBN: 1953861210
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Caio Fernando Abreu is one of those authors who is picked up by every generation... In these surreal and gripping stories about desire, tyranny, fear, and love, one of Brazil’s greatest queer writers appears in English for the first time In 18 daring, scheming stories filled with tension and intimacy, Caio Fernando Abreu navigates a Brazil transformed by the AIDS epidemic and stifling military dictatorship of the 80s. Tenderly suspended between fear and longing, Abreu’s characters grasp for connection: A man speckled with Carnival glitter crosses a crowded dance floor and seeks the warmth and beauty of another body. A budding office friendship between two young men turns into a surprising love, “a strange and secret harmony." One man desires another but fears a clumsy word or gesture might tear their plot to pieces. Abreu writes the stories of people whose intimate lives are on the verge of imploding at all times. Even simple gestures—a salvaged cigarette, a knock on the door from the hazy downpour of a dream, a tight-lipped smile—are precarious offerings. Junkies, failed revolutionaries, poets, and conflicted artists face threats at every turn. But, inwardly ferocious and secretly resilient, they heal. In these stories there is luminous memory and decay, and beauty on the horizon. Translated by Bruna Dantas Lobato, currently an Iowa Arts Fellow and MFA candidate in Literary Translation at the University of Iowa.

Author: Ángel J. Cappelletti
Publisher: AK Press
ISBN: 1849352836
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism.
